What are all the temptations which the proximity of a race course affords, if the " sinews" of sport are want ing ? and who supplies these but the parent ? It is to his injudicious over-fondness in affording unlimited supplies, that the ruin of the son is much oftener to be traced than to any relaxation of college discipline. How often does the richer parent send his son to col lege without the. smallest intimation that -- the source from which his supplies are granted can ever be ex hausted ? the son, of course, will never discover it unless he is told. How often does the poorer father, th e small country gentleman or clergyman, dismiss his son, who has hitherto lived at home, without running into extravegance; simply because he has never had my opportunity or incitement, to do so, with a general caution, that he cannot afford him much, but with an admonition to appear respectably : when, to the son, " much "or little, are terms of whose meaning h as no conception whatever ; and " respectably,' means " similarly to other young men ;" in consequence, if he fall into a dashing set, " respectable " style be comes the very desperation of gambling, and his de mands for " not much " upon his father, are demands large enough to ruin him and all his family. Here, we conceive, is the root of the evil ; let but the parent be explicit and positive in fixing his allowance, and immoveably firm in adhering to it, and the son will soon learn the value of that allowance, and be far more effectually preserved from fallin g a prey t o the tempta tions of extravagance, than by any possible enactments of the university statutes, or the most rigorous enforce ment of College regulations. Gibraltar Chronicles to the 16th Oct. inclusive, have been received, but their contents are unimportant. The Algerine squadron continues cruising against Spanish shipping, so that no vessel ventured to sea. T. show the deplorable state to which the trade of Spain is reduced, the shipping lists front the Spanish Porte, do not contain a single vessel of any description, under their national flag, either arriving or sailing from any of the ports. Our City Correspondent says, that accounts from Madrid, of the 1231 of October, state that the last news received there from L ►sbon, caused an explanation of. a nature not very agreeable, be tween the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Mr. Lamb, Minister of his Britannic Majesty. This circumstance has mused ►i ll the Ministers to depart immediately for the Escurial, where th 'Y remained in Council in the presence of the King. The letters from Paris this morning state they had received ac counts from Lisbon that the revolt in Algiers was at an end, and the junta o f the rebels had fl ed. Most of the troops who had puled iu the revolt have again returned to their duty, and the remainder have taken the road to Spain, and sonic of the Chiefs 'inboard ; amongst whom was the Marquis Abrantes.

ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR VINTRY WARD. CUTLER'S HALL.—(Tms DAY.) The adjourned Meeting of Saturday was convened at half-past 10 o'clock this morning. The Loan MA von stated that the number of voters for Mr. Sheriff Winchester was 30, for Mr. Edward Archer Wilde 27, and for Mr. Thomas Crook 3 ; and, therefore, declared Mr. 'Winchester, Alderman for the Ward of Vintry, upon which, Mr. Wilde demanded a scrutiny. Mr: Sheriff Wmcntes'reit then rose and returned his most sincere thanks to those gentlemen who had kindly supported him at the elec tion. He said that he would bury in oblivion every unplea- Pint feeling which might have been occasioned by the con test, declared that he would to the utmost of his ability perform the duties of the high office which the gentlemen of the Ward Con ferred upon him ; and expressed his hopes that his future conduct would convince teem that he was not unworthy of their choice.— (Applause. ) Mr. EDWARD A. Wuna then rose, and begged to express his grateful acknowledgments to those who supported him. He assured the gentlemen of the Wird, that if it should turn out that Mr. Winchester was ineligible to the office of Alderman (which lie Mr. Wilde firmly believed would be the case), they would find him not unworthy to take his place. He stated that it was with pleasure he could say that during the contest he was, treated by all the gentlemen of the Ward, even by those who opposed him, with the utmost politeness. It was no small satisfac tion to him . and (he was sure) to all present, that- none of the public journals had taken advantage of their Unpleasant, dispute* to excite the public.interest, but a paragraph, which sp.! peered in one of the journals, viz. in the John Bull of yesterday,. he considered it due to his family not to pass over in silence.--(A number of voices said, it was too contemptible to be taken notice of.)--:-The paragraph alluded to stated, that " ou Thursday a. wardmote was held somewhere in the city to make an Alderman ; and, strange to uy, Wisrcnxma, the respectable stationer, and twoother persons, were found to offer themselves for the distinc tien. There was some squabbling, and a poll was demanded by a brother of &CAW:ANT WILDK ; but whether the brother re cently returned from Botany Bay, we cannot positively state."— Now he (Mr. Wilde) would say, that a more malicious in sinuation than that contained in the paragraph could not possibly be made. He, however,. was fortunately heard by those who knew that though his brother had returned from Botany Bay, it was after serving there as Chief Justice ; and it was no small gratification to him to find that the only party who attempted to injure him or his family was the John Ball. —(Loud cheers.)—Amongst many other claims to be Alder man of the Ward, was that of his person, family, and his pro perty, being permanently resident in it, and he had every confi dence in succeding upon the scrutiny. Mr. CROOK stated that he conceived lie would not be doing justice to himself, if, in consequence of the course which Mr. Winchester and Mr. Wilde had thought proper to adopt, he did not declare that it was his intention to maintain his present sta tion on the poll, as in case of both parties being defeated he would then become their Alderman.--(Loud laughter.) Mr. Wfx.mt proposed a resolution expressive of a high sense of the public services of their late worthy Alderman, which was cor dially seconded by Mr. Phipps, and carried unanimously. The Wardmote was then dissolved. In the extract that we gave from "'Mr. C RAD O CK ' S SIXC».7I) VOLUME of MEMOIRS," the Author 'jays, that " Lieut.-Gen. FAWCETT was the only one left of the party," &c, ; just after the book was pritited, the Lieutenant-General . died at—Hatitimniptailrard . succeeded as Governor of Limerick.—(See the obituary of the last month.) Jane Nicholson was committed to our House of :Correction last week for twelve months, for bastardy ; being her thirdfituspaux.—Westmoreland Advertiser. It is stated in the Price Current of Tuesday that there is to be no reduction in the duty on Printed Calicoes. We are much afraid that this determination on the part of Ministers will be fatal to the low-priced branch of the trade.—Glasgow Herald. A General Meeting of the Members of the Man chester Chamber of Commerce, is to be held on Wed nesday next, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an alteration in the Corn Laws.—Man cheater Gazette. The gentlemen deputed to represent to Ministers the advantages which would result from the repeal of the duty on Printed Calicoes, are still in London, but with very slight hopes of success. It is much to be regretted that a tax which falls so heavily on the coun try and produces so little to the revenue, should be clung to with such pertinacity.—Manchester nazette. THE MARKETS. CORN.EXCNANGE.--(Txrs Dix). The supplies of last week were moderate, except of Flour and Foreign Oats, which were considerable. The Wheat trade re mains steady at the prices of this day se'nnight. Barley, for malting, is dull of sale, and rather cheaper, hut Grinding qualities fully maintain the prices quoted. Beans fully support last week's prices. Pease, of both kinds, are dull of sale at last quotations. There is a very fair demand for Oats to-day, and stout samples fetch ls. per quarter more than this day se'nnight ; other kinds remain as last quoted. There is no alteration in the price of Flour. There is scarcely any sale for Rapeseed, at 214 per last for English, and IS/. for Foreign. ARRIVALS OF LAST WEIR. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oat/. filtang.'Peatse. Flour. Qrs. Qrs., 911 rs. Qrs. Qrs.

Long before the your appointed for the examination of Mr. Wilke, the Justice-room, the lobby, and the steps outride were crowded, and it was with considerable difficulty that the Mar shalmen cleared a passage for the Lord Mayor. His Lordship on taking his seat said, that owing to the crowded state of the room, it was impossible for any more to be ad mitted, therefore those outside must either retire or remain quiet, otherwise it would be necessary to clear the room. His Lordship then enquired if Mr. Harmer was present. Mr. Harmer not appearing, his Lordship directed Mr. Scott and Mr. James Mitchell to be called, and prdered Mr. Wilks to be placed at the bar. _ _ - Mr. James Harmer was then called as the prosecutor in this cue. It was then stated that Mr. Harmer and the witnesses were present, but could not get into the room. owing to the density of the crowd. The Lord Mayo r i mme di ate l y or der e d the way to be cleared, and Mr. Mitchell shortly after wade his appearance. LORD MAYOR... 4 believe, Mr. Mitchell, :you attend as prosecu tor iu this CAM Mr. Mitchell—l am secretary to the Company, who are the prosecutors; either myself or the Chairman have the power in vested in us by the Act of Parliament. LORD Mantis—Have you seen Mr. Scott this morning ? Mr. Mitchell—My Lord, I have not. Mr. HARMER now made his appearance, having succeeded in making his way through the crowd. A letter was handed to Mr. Mitchell. He said it was not written by Mr. Wilks, but was addressed by Mr. Wilke to him self. Mr. ALLEY objected to the „letter being received in evidence, as it was not written by Mr. Wilks. The Loan Mayon, said *at he thought it was sufficient proof of its coming from Mr. Wilks, that it was directed by him us so licitor to the company, and directed to Mr. James Mitchell, the secretary to the company. Mr. *LEY saiitthat it was the duty of the prosecutor to prove that it was with Mr. 'Willts's knowledge, or by his order, otherwise it would not be evidence against Mr. Bnu.awn was of the same opinion. He said that if Mr. W. had seen the letter, he had no doubt he would not shrink from it, and if it was written by his direction, he did not doubt he would acknowledge it. The Loan MAYOR said he could not object to Mr. Wilk* see iug the letter. . Mr. Wmics said the letter was written by his wife, at the time be was in bed ; he directed her to say, that a confidential clerk of his, and not of Messrs. Scott and Williams, as stated in the letter, was about to leave town. The letter was read, and Mr. Wilke requested Mr. Mitchell to send him a check for 1,600/., as all the parties would be looking for it on the following Thursday in Edinburgh, and he would forwardjtby Scott and Williams' confidential clerk. Mr. Wilks said, that if he bad had the copy of the information and evidence sent to him by Mr. Holler us he requested, he should have been able to have counteracted any charge they could pos sibly bring against him. Mr. ANDRIWS said that if the prosecutors of Mr. Wilke, gave him notice to produce any letter or paper, he would most willingly do so. Mr. Wilke said, that the same night he received the cheque for the 1,6001. he wrote a letter to Scott and Williams, informing them, that he had paid the money into his banker's to wait their further instructions; and saying that as they were bank post-bills, perhaps they had better fo►ward them by post. Loan AfAyoa.—Mr. Wilke, have you any letter authorizing you to sign by procuration, it will greatly facilitate my determina tion in this ►•ace ? Mr. Wilks—Then, my Lord, am I understand that the cue depends on correspondence? The LORD , MAYOE-During the time that I sit in the civic chair, I will not have the criminal laws made a vehicle for ob taining other objects. I understand that this prosecution was in tended to make you deliver up certain deeds you had in your pos session belonging to the British 'Annuity Company, those deeds they have now obtained, and I presume they do not wish to pro ceed any further in this case, but I will take care that unless Mr. Scott appears to give the evidence, he has sworn to before Mr. Wilk', he shall be prosecuted. Mr. ALLEY submitted that there was no evidence to prove the forgery against Mr. Wilke. Mr: BOLLAND said it had been laid down that the mere wee ing of the name of another was not forgery, unless it was attended with " intent to commit fraud," it had been looked over and con sidered no forgery, it WAS . precisely Ow case of Mr. Wilk'. He. had sent the money down to Scott aild Williams, they did not send it back and say that he had committed a forgery, the trans action bad taken place with hiti.own tmotkeni. rnat . preVioni to endorsing the bill he sent it to his bankers, to know if it was necessary for it to he sent to Scott and Williams for their endorsement ; the hankers thought that his endorsement by procuration would do. Mr. ANDREWS contended, on the same ground, that no forgery had been communed; the bill was not indorsed with any fraudu lent intent. From the time that Mr. Wilke paid the bills into his bankers to the time of the value being forwarded to Scott and Williams he had never less than 2,0001. balance in the hands of his bankers. Could any one believe, when that was the case, that it was done with any fraudulent intention? He was certainly entitled to his discharge. _ _ The LORD MAToaT—Mr. Mitchell, when did you discover that the Dank post-bills had not been applied to the purpose intended? Mr. Mitchell—lt was not long since that I discovered it by a letter from Scott and Williams that they had not received the bills. Mr. BOLLAND asked Mr. Mitchell, if during, the time the transaction was pending, the remitting of the money was not de layed in consequence of the deeds not being ready, and whether he had not kept a minute book of such proceedings? Mr. Wilke handed in the minute book, in which such an entry was made in the hand-writing of Dr. Mitchell: The Loan Mayon said, that Mr. Wilke need not proceed any. farther, his opinion being made up on the subject. If a person obtained money by means of forgery, and did not make any fl-audu lent use of it, that was no rule that it was not a forgery; if the making out of the deeds had prevented Mr. Wilke from sending the bills to Scott and Williams, he ought to have asked the Com pany what he shoilld do with them, and not pay them into his own bankers ; upon the whole view of the matter, he was of opinion that, with the advice of another Magistrate, he should not object to take bail to a large amount, for his appearance. He was now obliged to attend elsewhere ; bat immediately on his re turn he would again hear the case. Mr. Wilke asked what bail his Lordship would require. The LORD MAYOR said, two securities in LOW. each, and himself for 2,0001. Mr. Wilke then left the bar. Mr. Amitv, Mr. BOLLAND, and Mr. Asnavws, were Coun sel for Mr. Wilke. COURAGEOUS ATTACK ON ROBBERS.—Mr. Roper, of lirentford, proprietor of a wharf, having been in London, did not return till past twelve o'clock, on Friday night, when on passing the gates of his , wharf, he perceived they were ajar. Suspecting that all was not right, he went home fur the boy, who was waiting up to receive his horse, and after that to the watchman, whom they found fast asleep. Finding it difficult to wake him, they took his bludgeon, and proceeded to the wharf. On reaching the Counting-house, they saw that the door was open, and two men inside, who exclaimed, " ism* in, we are not going to bolt." Fortunately, Mr. Roper had the key of the door in his pocket, and he immediately locked it. Finding that they were escaping at the window, he stationed himself there, and the first that got out he laid at his feet nearly lifeless ; he al so we ll pummelled the other, and pursued him, but without success. Just as he got back, the other jumped up, and made a leap at one of the barge* in the canal, but missed his aim and fell into the water. A great part pf Saturday was occupied in dragging the canal, but from want of success, and the mark on the opposite shore, there is little doubt hut he escaped. A reward of 201. is offered for their apprehension. that eMU a ctivityl MU RDERS.--We 4 E I tot s fi iu.e—p upon the in W u regret otvlhos e ictsnahloemt ryl: tbeentagreeraii to tat o u sbor aft estt Magistrates Matt' Leatherbead and the neighbourhood, dur ing the past week to throw any s action, and no dus has yet been dtscevered Ayres and Cobbler Will. It is, however, more than suspected, that they are concealed in the metropolis, and we believe such is the opinion of some of the principal officers of Row -street. An application was made on Saturday, at the instance of a Magistrate for the county of Surrey, to Mr. Halls, a Magistrate of Row-street office, for the assistance of one of the principal officers, to go in quest of the suspected murderers. Salmon, thao:fi e b e u r ii , called n before the Magistrate, a n d was consulted upon th e impediment, however, to the exertions of the officer presented itself, which the Magistrate of Surrey probably had not antici pated, viz. a want of funds to pay Salmon his expences of travel -li* Ste. Mr. Halle could not expect Salmon to travel at his own coat, and tbe messenger returned to the Magistrate of Sur to w ith a message from Salmon, stating his readin ess to com mence a pursuit after the murderer', provided that his experiees were guaranteed. No reply had been received from the Surrey Magistrate at Dow-street on Saturday night. TASIIIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR, Nov. s.—His MAJESTY attended Divine Service this morning at the New Private Chapel, accompanied by Mr. Secretary Canning and the Royal Suite. The Rev. Dr. Pearson officiated. The unfavourable weather prevented his MAJESTY from taking an airing yesterday ; and it is not expect en that he will be able to leave the Royal Lodge for that purpose this day. Yesterday Prince Polignac and Mr. Secretary Can ning arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to his MAJESTY, with whom they had the honour of dining and passing the evening with the addition of his Ma jesty s Suite.

THE DUKE OF YORK.--(From the Lancet). — Sir Astley Cooper, at the particular request of the King, has lately visited the Duke of York, and on the first occasion his Majesty was pleased to meet the Hon. Baronet at the Royal Duke's residence ; the interview lasted a considerable time. The Duke. of York's disease is general anasarca, a form of dropsy the meat difficult to remove. Sir Astley prescribed a combination of squill root and blue pill, which we understand has been taken with some benefit. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester left' their re sidence, Gloucester House, Park-lane, yesterday after noon, for their seat at Bagshot Park.

The i►nitation of a celebrated actor (now exercising his talents across the Atlantic) in the new comedy of 7'he Green Room, was, we understand, entirely accidental, and never intended by the ingenious author of the play. The Gentleman who prepared " Yates's Ileminis eel - tees" fbr representatiQn last year at the Adolph Theatre, is again at work for that excellent mimic The entertainments which Mr. Yates intends to intro• duce into his next budget are reported to possess pecu. liarly novel features. He flies at " High Game. " We understand, from a. gentleman recently returned from America, that Kean, although he has partly re covered from thC late severe shock, remains in a most shattered condition. When he parted with his friend Price, he assured him he should return to England, and resume his performance at Drury-lane, in February. The report of Kean's having any thing to do with the lease of that Theatre, is devoid of truth ; Mr. Price is the sole Lessee. Arrived at Gibh's Hotel, Regent Bridge, Edin burgh.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) We have had through the past week, a very limited inquiry in our market for goods, and the general ap pearance of trade Is considerably worse than at any period during the last six weeks ; indeed, the little business doing has been confined to water twist, front 10 to 24, in which numbers some sales have been ef fected, and at tolerably fair prices. For the higher n u mb e rs in this article, there has been little or no en quiry, nor has there been much sold. iVfule yarns, from 40 to 60 are in fair request ; we cannot, however, learn that there has been much actual selling, the buyers wanting them at reduc e d p r i ces . Calicoes, for printers, which but a very short time past got up to ls. 3d. per piece, have this week and last receded in price is. and even at this reduction the market is uncommonly flat. The enquiry for cotton has not been so extensive ag it was a fortnight ago, nor has so much business been done; the market upon the whole is not very promising. STATE or TRADE.—The temporary demand for the autumn trade having subsided, and the preparations for winter goods being over, the market has been flat for the last fortnight, and the prices of goods which had risen during the brisk 'demand are now falling back to their former low rate. A depression at this time of the year is far from being uncomnion.—Man- Mester Gazette. COVENT GARDEN TgEATRE.. The expectations of a full house were considerably heightened on Saturday night by the announcement of "Power," a tragedy, by Mary Russell Mitford—a lady who has distinguished herself by the beauty and: picturesque painting of country manners in her charming little volume of " Our Village." The very idea of so ambitious an undertaking as a tragedy, which requires not only knowledge of the World, as that knowledge lies on the surface of society, but also a deep experieuced insight into the sterner and more passionate peculiarities of the masculine character..seems preposterous when announctil as the composition of a female ; of one who, from her limited,range of observation (the consequence of a woman's education in England), eau draw only from books the higher element, requisite to eusure success in the drama. Sometimes, indeed, it lON happened that characters so drawn have obtained popularity on the stage, —we allude to Miss rlaillieO " De Muotfort ;" but then they have pleased rather from the splendid imagination that invested them with apparent truth, than from the rigid reality of their portraits. Moe Mitford'e imagination however, is too limited to impart any intermit—in dependently of nature,..--to her heroes ; she has all the sweetness and feminine elegance of poetry—the delicacy of description—the purity of observation that we naturally look for in a female; but none of that dark individual energy which stirs our hearts like a trumpet. The plot of her Fuscari—to enter at once like Milton, " into the mid s t o f thi ngs , " i s something to the following e ff ect. Count Erin e, (Mr. Werde) a Venetian senator, and a curious compound of Shylock in his blood thirstiness, and Ingo in his re lentless tact and shrewdness, conceiving a desire for the duke:loni a sounds another senator, Donato (Mr. Egerton) on the subject, and finding him irritated by the refuel of some slight request pre ferred by him to the Doge, (Mr. Young) without further ha/he ron, proposes to dethrone the Doge, and accordingly enteri at once into the Senate-house and there puts the question to the old Prince hinself. Ile, stung by this /molt, naturally refuses to re sign, and enumerates all his good qualities, which an tickle the Senators, that they are iir the act of le questing him to continue his office, when Ids Non, Frauceeco Foscari (Mr. C. Konble) arrives with the news of a victory, achieved by himself, over some neighbouring prince ; and heuristic the cause of the quarrel instituted by Erizzo against his father, en ters hot-headedly into the dispute, abusing the whole assembly and offering (together with the Doge) to quit Venice, Both, however, are requested to remain, on which the scene Closes, and. Fuseari junior goes to a midnight interview with Camilla (Mrs. Sloman), daughter of Donato, and betrothed to him, until the fa ther's quarrel with the Doge prevents further intimacy. Mean while Erizzo is not We ; the insults received by him froM Fran. cesco have sharpened his native rancour, and be so contrives it that Donato shall be munlored while young Foacari is at his house secretly courting Comilla by midnight.

The plot then hastens to a close, Francesco is proved innocent and Erizzu guilty, who immediately on the die covery, goes out exulting—in a high tragedy speech of " King Cambyses* vein—at hie successful revenge. Such is the catastro phe of Foecari, which as our readers will not fail to perceive is monstrous, inconsistent, and revolting.
